That is beautiful! I will have to try to make one for my basement renovation. (I didn’t reply correctly - all of this stuff is amazing, I was specifically referring to the red plant on thing up the page)

I was just there on Sunday. This place is amazing. Everyone involved has done a very impressive job. This has such great potential, there’s still alot of details that can be added (props and such), but these folks seem to be up to the task. I just hope this can be sustained. This seems to be a very expensive venture. Unless someone involved has very deep pockets, this is going to need to generate revenue somehow. I don’t know if ticket sales are going to be enough.Is there a plan for how to sustain this? I know I’m already planning on going back in the spring. Again, great job to everyone involved, it was well worth the 5 hour drive up from Philly.

Thank you for coming up, sorry I missed you. I’m usually there on Sunday but I took the day off.

The Winter is typically our peak construction time. We hope by spring to have all of Engineering and the medical lab done. There are also a few surprises in store that James Cawley is working on. Another event that everyone should keep in mind is the annual Trekonderoga Convention it’s a great event with original cast stars from the show with many photo ops on the sets. Last year the attendance doubled in size for the event.

Jim may I ask what was your favorite room on the tour and your favorite prop that you saw there? Just curious.

Funny you should ask about my favorite prop. I was drooling over your 3D chess board and the larger med scanner.I collect props, So this place was like a toy store. I wanted everything. As far as a favorite room, that’s a tough one. The entire med dept. is very impressive, but the briefing room is almost a work of art. It goes without saying that the bridge looks amazing. I don’t think I can pick just one room, it all looks great. You guys should be proud, beautiful work.

We work very hard to get every detail just right. It’s very exciting to be able to say I’ve been part of bringing back into existence something that is so important to all of us. Last June a group of us spent 3 weeks working 12 hour days on the Jefferies tube, the medical unit and Main Engineering. It was the best vacation of my life being on the Enterprise for such an extended period of time. This construction crew are family now! This project is a true labor of love.

My favorite room by far Is Main Engineerring, the warp core was truly amazing to help build, an experience I will never forget. As we build the sets we are struck by the design genius of Matt Jefferies, the forced perspective in the warp core blows me away every stinking time I see it! These sets are a very special place for so many people, we at the Star Trek Set Tour are very proud to be able to share it with all of you.

Here’s a side-by-side photo of the Star Trek Continues “warp core” under construction last September, and then the finished set a few weeks later. The depth from the hexagon screen to the back of the “core” is, in reality, only 12 feet.

This same technique of forced perspective was also used on STAR TREK: The Motion Picture, even using shorter people in the background to further trick the eye!
